Harry Brink Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I've used hide glue before to make some small boxes with no stress on the joints when finished. This project there may be some stress on them and I don't want them coming apart. The reason I used it before is the long open time so I can get all the sides and joints adjusted. Is this a good choice or should I use the normal Titebond? lew and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Titebond III has a little longer open time. I think Titebond also makes an extend time glue but not certain about that. Cal and hatuffej 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatuffej Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I agree with Lew. I use TB III for all my boxes and never have a problem with open time. However, I recommend that you do a dry fit, including setting clamps, before applying glue. Make any necessary corrections, then glue and clamp. I made a glue-up jig that holds 2 sides at 90 degrees while the other 2 sides mate up. Makers the whole process much easier to control.

Harry Brink Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I've done a couple of dry fits and everything looks ok. I have a couple of 90 degree clamps I'll dig out to help me along and I do have a fresh bottle of TBIII I'll use. Like all have said before, I'll post pictures when it's done. Thanks for the in-put.

Dadio Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I use Titebond II extened for everything, never had a failure, and if you break a joint it takes wood with it. I use Titebond II panel glue for veneering,(the brown colored). it has good open time.

Al B Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I find titebond 111 works well when making glue-ups on bandsaw boxes. I have used regular titebond 11 but found that I really have to move to complete the glue-up. Harry Brink and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick486 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) look to Weldbond... longer open time and stronger than strong... https://www.speedyproducts.com/pages/weldbond-specs-instructions Edited March 12, 2018 by Stick486 Cal and Harry Brink 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Elsie went into the glue vat when she stopped giving milk. Well, that or with a box of hamburger helper.
